Benji Gregory, known for his role in the popular sitcom “Alf,” was discovered deceased in an Arizona Chase Bank parking lot last month. The actor was 46 years old at the time of his passing. His sister, Rebecca, confirmed the news of his death last Wednesday. The cause of his death is yet to be determined.
Gregory’s death was recorded on June 13 by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s office, according to reports. Rebecca revealed that her brother had been battling depression and bipolar disorder. He also suffered from a sleep disorder that often kept him awake for several days at a stretch.
Sources close to Gregory suggest that he was at the bank in Peoria, Arizona, on June 12 to deposit residual checks from his acting career. It is believed that he fell asleep in his car and succumbed to a heatstroke due to the region’s extreme summer temperatures.
Gregory was not alone at the time of his death. His service dog, Hans, was found dead alongside him in the car. The actor’s family has been deeply affected by the loss and appreciates the outpouring of support and condolences they have received.
Rebecca suggested that fans wishing to honor Gregory’s memory could make donations to causes he supported. These include The Actors Equity Foundation and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
The actor’s untimely death has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and fans. His contributions to the entertainment industry, particularly his role in “Alf,” will continue to be remembered.
